Over packaging...

Come on Waggle, sort it out!  Spot the, perfectly adequately packaged on its own (plus maybe a jiffy bag at most), Knog light tucked in the corner...

Yeaahh . . . what is it with Wiggle & HUUUGGEEE boxes? Everything I've bought from them has come with large quantities of free air. Parker International, for example, are far more restrained.

They use standardized boxes & bags- no excuse for something like that though. Generally, my orders have been sensibly packed.

Who do Wiggle use for delivery ?
There are some outfits who deliver in private vehicles . Presumably the people who come to your door get a very small amount for each delivery so if you are out they don't waste time trying to leave the package with a neighbour , they just lob it over your back gate. 
A large amount of free air in the box comes in handy in such circumstances.
